Mother is an alcoholic, older sister is a drug addict. What will happen to a girl that now plays with a doll?

Mike Alissi pointed me to this story (complete with photos!) about a wax figure show in Moscow that "highlights graphic dangers of drugs." The exhibit's combination of didacticism with morbid appeal is reminiscent of an old-fashioned freak show: "Created to promote a healthy way of life by showing what drugs can do to a human being, it creates a strong impression on visitors. The organizers even have liquid ammonia on hand to resuscitate anyone who faints at the sight of the disfigured faces of drug addicts or the embryo of an addict's baby in formalin." And if anyone dies of fright, the organizers will pay for the coffin!

Presumably the DEA, which has tried its hand at this sort of thing, is already arranging an American tour.
